  The Wasabi Black series of knives have a specially designed handle which fuses the hygienic properties of bamboo with the long-lasting qualities of polypropylene. The handle also hugs the blade, reducing the gaps and crevices that dirt can gather in.

  The Yanagiba knife is traditionally used in Japan as a slicing knife. Its slim and long blade makes it suitable for wafer-thin cuts, which are typical in the preparation of sushi and sashimi.

  • Features traditional Japanese blade styling, where the blade is sharpened on a single side for superior cutting performance and to reduce food sticking
  • Made from high carbon stainless steel
  • Blade is bead-blasted to achieve a smooth finish and embellished with the Japanese characters for 'wasabi'
  • The blade is closely connected to the handle, not allowing dirt to settle in any gaps
